Bobi, it sounds like you have it the wrong way round. I did that once and it stuck solid. It took me a while to remove it. The sliding plastic part should be to the outside (facing right).

Bob i've never had any trouble removing it

 

[tnwillia]

I never put it in or used it.

 

[Bobi1956]

Well go figure - only time I was trying to remove it was with hood fully open - I didn't cut the whole ring off I can still grab it - I guess my claim to dumb fame is that I can now remove mine both ways LOL - with hood fully open or with skimmer flap open

 

[Reefmack]

Nice, unintentional "mod" Bob - LOL!

 

[Bobi1956]

I wonder if confucious said "purpose of mod thread is to also discuss modifications before whacking away !!!!" lmao

 

[lethal]

Bob...I'll hold my hand up too, I was having trouble removing it with the hood open too until someone on these forums said to just open the skimmer flap. I stopped short of modding it though :smack: I only put it in for a couple of hours after doing any maintenance.

 

[Bobi1956]

Thanks for making me not the stand alone goof bucket !!!!!

 

[tnwillia]

I've lost count of mistakes I've made. We all do it!

This is a RSM 250 Cabinet Mod - I put one of these on each side of the inside of my cabinet and voila - I can see my stuff !!!! Purchased at Home Depot for $14 for a pair.

Is that the self stick, press on lights? I have a similar one in my 130 cabinet. They are nice!

 

[Bobi1956]

yes runs on three AAA batteries and has two lighting levels and is stick on, clip on or can be permanently attached with one screw. I used the velcro stick on pads that came with them

 

[tnwillia]

Bob, keep an eye on it for a while, I tried one a little heavier with stick-ons in my cabinet. Came home from work to learn what sump saltwater will do to AAA batteries in 8 hours. Luckly i didn't loose anything. Have fun!

Had the same happen to my stick on in the cabinet - you can't see the salt mist but it's in there!

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

my Bar LED stick-on didn't workout either, I ended up removing, saltwater took it's toll...

 

[Bobi1956]

so any advice for best lighting to add inside of cabinets that will withstand the environment
